      My prayers are going 100 MPH+.

      I know the Brown family well from working with them in the Biplane class.

      Mr. Brown is truly one of the good guys.

      I hope all goes well and his return is forthcomming.

        I hate to say this but this morning, the wreckage of Steve's "Tonapah Low" Pitts was found.

        Blue Skies....

        Please say a prayer for his family and friends...

        He will be missed!

            The article is a bit sketchy...
            "Authorities believe they found on top of frozen Marlette Lake the missing airplane"
            In what condition was it found??? and no pilot???
            Lets pray he's OK and just waiting to be picked up...

              Yes, The article is a bit sketchy...

              It's also very irresponsible journalism.

              "Authorities believe they found on top of frozen Marlette Lake the missing airplane"

              What they have found is the tail of the aircraft above the ice.

              As much as we would all like to have some glitter of hope, I have just been told by someone on the scene that it has been officially verified there is a body in the aircraft.

              Steve is a great guy, a very good friend for more that 20 years.

              He will be sadly missed.

                  The Biplane racing communitity just lost one of its Pioneers to the sport. And a friend.

                  I am truly heart broken for the Brown family.

                  Blue skies Steve. May your memory live on with those of us you touched in the past. You will be missed.

                    Here is Steve and his racer at PRS last summer. He was instructing, and brought the airplane to fly with the students during course time.

                    Steve raced from 1990 to 2006, and brought the airplane from a150 mph stocker to a Gold race regular running at up to 212 mph.

                    His father Stan raced from 1974 to 1990.

                    Steve was a really good guy,

                    and will be missed...

                          Re: Steve Brown Missing

                          I literaly watched Steve build that plane in his garage when I was a young man.

                          I also had the pleaseure of of getting to know him even better in the Biplane pits for several years.

                          A class act that will be missed.

                            sad day today, he will be missed by all air racing and aviation fans

                            i looked at RGJ website and was shocked at the disrespect they have shown title " Dead Person Found In Airplane" that is not right i noticed there is a spot where you can add comments we should all post our thoughts on there poor journalism. maybe its just me but that should not be a proper title for an article was disturbing to me at least
